I think that should be changed to:
Avoid GIFs for complex images as they have a limited colorspace.

==Animated images==
I fail to see how all these PNG images are supposed to be "animated" Please explain? They dont animate in my browser, but are PNGs supposed to be able to animate? <sub style="color:#00008B;">'''[[User:Blake|Blake]]'''</sub> <sup>[[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]]</sup> 22:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Spread the word ==
 
To avoid something like that happen again, I suggest we either;
 
#Add it to the welcome template for new users
 
or
 
#add it on the main page
 
This way, there's a slight chance it won't happen again.--[[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] 12:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 
== Gen II trainer sprites ==
 
First, they should be in png format, no? Second, the format is 56 x 56, no? If so for both, we have gif files and incorrect-sized png files. Suggestions, anyone?

== What's the deal with these images? ==
Just was checking [[:Category:Game maps]] and found a bunch of REALLY crappy images. No articles link to them, and they basically consist of every imaginable kind of badness game maps can have.

== The totals at the top of the page ==
 
I've noticed some inconsistencies with the totals at the top of this page, which actually mean that we're closer to the correct number of sprites than we seem.  For instance:
 
* Gen I: All good obviously
* Gold: Though it currently says we are 2 sprites over, the "correct" total fails to take into account the japanese sprites of {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Aipom}}.  The same holds true for the Gold shinies!
* Silver: Same problem as Gold except it's {{p|Jynx}} and {{p|Slowpoke}}.  Silver shiny too!
* Crystal: Just Jynx this time.  This also covers Crystal shiny (where we dont have the right number either way) and Gen II back
Gen II normal and shiny.
* Ruby and Sapphire: I don't know where that total came from but without Castform (which seems to have been forgotten) it's 413 but with... '''416''', the total we have.  Same for Shiny except Castform probably shouldn't be counted...  The total of 416 should also work for Emerald (once again unless Castform is discarded) at which point it's 413.
* FireRed and LeafGreen: Should have 1 more than RSE (417) because of the added Deoxys Forme.  With the shinies being 414 if we dont put Castform.
*Gen 3 back should be 419 as it would contain all the Deoxys plus the other 416.  Shiny is 416.--[[:bp:User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 02:05, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
:I agree with most of your points except the last two. Also, the top ones are made for general sprites. That way those who find missing ones will find them and just upload them. In regards to your last two points... there are sprite changes between RS and FRLG, such as minor colorings and change in images (see [[:File:Spr b 3r 003.png]] and [[:File:Spr b 3f 003.png]].

::Right, the backsprites... odd that I would forget that.  Either way, it makes it seem like we're furhter away from the goal than we truly are and that we somehow let extra sprites slip through the craks.--[[:bp:User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 23:46, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

The math is commented out after my proposed totals (correct me if I forgot anything).  Some of it is also personal preferance, do we include Castform's unanimated sprites into the Emerald category?  What about the Shiny categories (as they are the alternate sprites of shiny Castform as well)?  This also includes my firm belief that the backsprite categories are in need of a serious overhaul.--[[:bp:User:MisterE13|<span style="color:#0000FF">Mister</span>]][[User talk:MisterE13|<span style="color:#008000">'''E'''</span>]][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|<span style="color:#800080">13</span>]] 00:55, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

:Often the Bulbapedia server and Archives server take a while to synchronize, so it doesn't always show up straight away. Which version of the image did you want to use? The one with the dark sky or blue sky? If you want the dark sky, you will need to upload it elsewhere as a personal image, because Bulbapedia prefers the dark sky for its projects. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:31, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

== Trainer Sprite Project ==
 
Perceptive individuals may notice that filenames for Trainer sprites are extremely inconsistent, especially in Generations I through IV. So, for the month of September, the Bulbagarden Archives will be undergoing an extremely large-scale project to standardize the filenames of '''all''' Trainer sprites.
 
This project will be conducted in three stages, with each stage requiring 100% completion before advancement to the next stage. The first and final stages will be restricted to {{ar|staff}} only, as they require user rights specific to Bulbagarden Archives staff. The second stage, however, will allow open assistance from any volunteers.
 
Details regarding each of the three stages will be noted in the subsections below. Any questions or concerns regarding this project may be asked [[User talk:Kogoro|here]].
 
===Stage 1 - Relocation (Complete)===
The first stage of the Trainer sprite project will be conducted exclusively on the Bulbagarden Archives, and is restricted to members of the Bulbagarden Archives {{ar|staff}}. This stage of the project will consist entirely of relocating Trainer sprites from their current filenames to their standardized filenames as noted on the {{ar|Manual of style#Trainers|Manual of Style}}.
 
Redirects '''must''' be created through these file moves, and the redirects '''must not''' be modified in any way that will prevent the redirect from doing its intended job.
 
===Stage 2 - Correction (Complete)===
The second stage of the Trainer sprite project will be conducted throughout the Bulbawiki Network, though dominantly on Bulbapedia. This stage of the project consists exclusively of replacing the old and depreciated file links with proper links to the new standardized filenames. Some files may be in {{wp|Graphics Interchange Format|GIF}} format on Bulbapedia, these are to be replaced with their {{wp|Portable Network Graphics|PNG}} counterparts.
 
====Examples====
<nowiki>[[File:GenISwimmer.png]] → [[File:Spr RG Swimmer.png]]</nowiki><br>
<nowiki>[[File:CynthiaPlatinum.gif]] → [[File:Spr Pt Cynthia.png]]</nowiki>
 
Volunteers are expected to correct '''all''' trainer sprites on a given article with '''one edit'''. Corrections regarding the <code>User:</code> namespace are only to be performed by staff members of the respective Bulbawiki Network section.
 
===Stage 3 - Termination (Complete)===
The third stage of the Trainer sprite project will also be conducted exclusively on the Bulbagarden Archives, and is also restricted to members of the Bulbagarden Archives {{ar|staff}}. The final stage of this project consists of deleting the depreciated file redirects created during Stage 1 as well as all replaced GIF format sprites.
 
It is not necessary for anyone to tag these redirects or GIFs with {{template|delete}}, as the [[Special:Log/move|move log]] and the respective generational categories will be used to quickly farm all of the redirects and GIFs together.
 
 
Thank you to all for reading, especially to those who volunteer. Happy contributing. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#DA70D6;">Kogoro</span>''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<span class="sc" style="color:#FFB6C1;">Talk to me</span>''']] - 03:26, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

::By helping out. You can help by checking the {{ar|To-do list}}, check what you can do there; tagging files for moving, deletion, categorising them, requesting files to be uploaded... you have tons of things to contribute. Regarding the credit, no it wouldn't; although you can ask for the person uploading it to add in the summary who the original uploader is. We usually do credit the original uploader, but knowing who was the origina uploader isn't really relevant.
